Eco-Friendly, Smart, Affordable And Looks Like A Blackberry – The Sony Ericsson Aspen

After its October launch, the Windows Mobile 6.5 gets a third version upgrade that finally puts it act right with a slew of finger-touch and more gesture friendly enhancements to bring it at par with the other better smartphone platforms in the market.  With just 8% market share of the word’s smartphone market, it has been falling year-on-year behind with a few makers like HTC junking it in favor of Android.

Of the few smartphone makers left running it, the Japanese mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson has the world’s first smartphone to run the new Windows Mobile 6.5.3.  This is the Sony Ericsson Aspen, formerly named Faith.  Looking at its previous handsets, this could well be its first Blackberry-styled smartphone sporting the familiar QWERTY candybar monoblock form factor.

It is also one of the latest addition to its GreenHeart stable of eco-friendly mobile phones that started with the C901 GreenHeart last year.

Eco Friendly Features

The press release form its official announcement leaves little data on its “green” features but we can surmise that it shares many of the first GreenHeart model.  The spec sheet shows it has the WalkMate pedometer and a CO2 calculator that tells you how much carbon emission was saved by walking rather than taking your car.  Its body must have at least 50% made from recycled plastics and painted using waterborne paints, among other green features which are basically found in other eco-friendly phones from LG and Samsung.

Smart Affordable Features

Apart from its Blackberry styling that’s distinctly unique among Sony Ericsson phones, the Aspen takes advantage of the enhanced WinMo 6.5.3 platform to have faster browser page loading performance, a finer memory management as well as providing better zooming, gesture and touch control without the need for a stylus.  The WinMo is said to have capacitive touchscreen and multitouch support though that feature is not found in the Aspen as it only has a resistive touchscreen on its 2.4-inch QVGA display with the usual Windows-constrained 64k colors.

The Aspen is a 3G phone on the dual band UMTS (900/2100) for the European markets and a quad band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) on 2G.  It has the usual high speed data connectivity that you can expect even for mid-priced 3G feature phones like HSDPA/HSUPA, WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and microUSB 2.0 for high speed data transfers.

Its QWERTY candybar body comes in either silver white or ivory black and measures 117 x 60 x 12.5mm with a 130g weight that makes it less than pocket-friendly. You get a basic 3.2-megapixel fixed focus camera with smart contrast and video recording that is quite common in low-end smartphones.  You also get A-GPS receiver, 3.5mm headphone jack, an accelerometer, stereo speakers and a modest 100 MB of internal memory expandable to 16 GB with its microSD slot.

Software-wise, the Sony Ericsson Aspen provides seamless social networking with an instant access to Facebook as well as Windows Live Messenger and comes with a bundled Google Maps.  Its multimedia has the usual media players we expect from Sony’s Walkman tradition and now comes with media browsers that support music, photos and videos. There’s also access to PlayNow apps for games and new music.

HIS H567Q512 Radeon HD 5670 Video Card - 512MB DDR5, PCI-Express 2.0, CrossFireX, DVI, VGA, HDMI

the sparkle and pny cards are the same ( just one has twice the amount of memory but both use ddr3)the gts 250 is a rebadged 9800gt ( yes it does have a software upgrade that is not available on the 9800gt )

i think that i would pick either the his 5670(512 ddr5 ) or pny 9800gt ( extra ram) skip da 250 gts unless it is cheaper than the 9800gt or 5670 !
